Take it to the vet if you fear it is severe. Most kittens will start to move around on their legs at 3 or 4 weeks old, and are usually playing and walking at 4 weeks or so. If your kitten is not developing as you think it should, take it to the vet for examination and treatment.
If, in the case of a young kitten that is developing more slowly than usual (but is otherwise deemed healthy by a vet), a proper feeding regime may help. Sometimes this entails bottle feeding or feeding him a bowl of cat food mixed with kitten milk (not cow's milk) or water and feed it to him every few hours along with allowing him to suckle from his mother.

Why would a kitten walk only on its front legs only?
I don't understand what you mean, if you could describe how the kitten walks, this might help to determine what is happening. Like, the kitten is dragging it's hind quarters, or is trying to balance on it's front paws, or is pulling with front paws and pushing and moving back paws but gets no traction. Something that describes with detail how the kitten is walking, also age, kind, other health conditions. Anything might be helpful.

How old is a kitten when it first walks?
A kitten has mobility at approximately 2 hours old. After the mother licks the kitten dry (and this action warms up the musculature and gets the kitten's blood flowing) the kitten starts moving about in search of its mother's milk. While not upright and "walking" the kitten is moving. The ability of the cat to be mobile at such an early age probably stems from ancient times when cats of prey would move about to follow herds of animals. Withing days, the kittens are basically upright and mobile.
What do I do if my kitten is not moving and is limp but he is still breathing. He is an outdoor kitten and I can't take him to the vet?

How do you help a kitten with a neck injury?
You need to get your kitten to a veterinarian immediately. To transport, gently slide the kitten onto a towel - having two people for this will help greatly. Your goal is to keep the head, neck and shoulders steady without moving them. Once the kitten is on the towel, slide your hands underneath it and place the kitten/towel onto two to four bath towels nestled in a laundry basket. Now the kitten can be carried in the laundry basket and taken to the veterinarian. If the kitten is still walking or holding its head up, you can skip the towel under kitten transfer, but still drive with the kitten nestled in a laundry basket. If the kitten is still nursing, bring the mother and the rest of the kittens along for the ride in a second basket or box.
